Could someone tell me what happened with the events brought up in year of the comet? I have that book, but not the stuff that came after "Wake of the comet". Search function didn't seem to help me in this case.

Probe Race: So what? Who won? what did they/if anyone find? Lesbian Vulcan slavegirls? Galactic snotball? Did getting to the comet have any real in-game effects?

Shedim: What happened? I know they were introduced in Year of the Comet, but so what? Did it turn out to be a extraplanar plot? Fallout just from GW breaking through the rift? Did it have any real resolution?

Japanese Kid emperor. He a god? An adept? A shedim that inhabited the body of the kid that was actually killed in the volcano eruption?

Oricalchum race. Did it go poof after comet passed? Or remains viable? Any word on the other super-race minerals that were found? Any effects?

Officially, Ares won the Probe Race. Wake of the Comet is a series of three adventures dealing with the race at various points. [e] SotA:64 mentions the winner of the race.

Shedim became even more sinister after the appearance of Master Shedim, but have largely been "dealt" with (aka, left to GMs to decide where best to put them).

Japanese Emperor has an ancestor spirit guiding him, but seems human otherwise. His wife is a hot otaku, as well. [e] And Japan is entering a new Era, as is tradition - the new palace is in Tokyo. He's got some pull with fingers in Shaiwase and Yamatetsu, but it's a fight everyday.

Oricalchum went poof.

His wife is a hot ex-vampire ex-shadowrunner dissonant otaku megacorp heiress, to be more specific.

Ex-vampire? AND she's a Deus pawn?

She was a ganger chick too. An MIT ganger chick.

Oh dear god. This is precisely why I started to ignore the metaplot after SR2. Really.

So no more vampires?

Nope. There are still plenty of vampires. The treatment was never made public for some reason. I don't know why. I never read that book. I just know what I've heard from others.

OK then, but it wasn't ever so obvious that you meant YotC.

The, ah, mortality test hasn't been taken yet.

*blink blink* where was all this about the Emperers new girl? How did I miss all that crazy?

Shadows of Asia. Do a search for Hitomi Shiawase on the forums.


Or I'll do it

wow Synner, I'm guessing you're either feeling very generous, or very bored right now.

If you're the DM, you can say what they found on the comment. But IIRC canoniacally, they found Orichilum.

so cliche'. couldn't they have found something more interesting. like a reply from the first satellite that was launched way back in the 70's with a CD with our arts and history on it (forget it's name, but it was in Star Trek and X-files). Something along the lines of "wow, you're 'music' sucks. That Napolean guy wasn't so bad though."

hehehehe

Wassa matta Grinder? You're not a little guy with a small-man complex too are ya'?

No way. I'm a tall guy who dislikes Napoleons conquering of Germany.

sore loser. That;s ok, I'm the tall blond guy that always seems to have short bosses that like to take out their frustations on me. Stopped since I grew a beard though. hmmm..... maybe if more Germans had beards.

Now how can we bring this back on topic to YoTC? .....

In one game, we had some dwarf twins. Except one was a troll. he'd SURGED in to a troll when the comet came. Hi-lar-i-ous.

When YOTC entered our campaigns, I was still playing Leela. Thank heaven's she had several essence worth of implants which significantly reduced the chance for her becoming a changling. Any of the negative changes and her career would have ended for good since she was basically built around the "Rocker" (albeit Euro Classical) concept from Shadowbeat.

Actually, none of my characters experienced mutation which was fine by me, although the Troll Mage in our groip sported red eyes, purple fur, and extended claws. Man, talk about messing with your stealth tests.

Something just occured to me about the whole Emperor line. It was an ancient tradition in Japan that each Emperor got a new Palace. The idea was the old palace was unclean, and would be torn down.

You could be looking at a symbolic recreatino of that with the current SR Emperor. He is tearing down a lot of what went into 21st century Japan in SR to make it into what he wants.

The Comet Race of 2061 was definitely more interesting than the one in 1986. OTOH, probes from 1986 actually reached the comet and made it back.

yet

M¥$T1C: thanks, I was thinking Voyager, but that damned Startrek thing was throwing me off.

V'Ger must evolve....

I think that's almost explicit in the SoA chapter where they discuss the new palace and the new Era.
